Accused Shoplifter Returned While Police Were At The Store

STONY POINT, NY — A 42-year-old woman is accused of shoplifting something from Shoprite in Stony Point while police were there watching a surveillance video which, they allege, showed her shoplifting from the supermarket earlier that day.

Police were called to Shoprite Sunday for a shoplifting complaint. The responding officers were watching a video of a woman leaving the store at 11 a.m. without paying for merchandise.

Police said they were still at the location when the woman returned and was observed leaving the location again without paying for merchandise.

Julissa Velez, who has no fixed abode, was placed under arrest, charged with petty larceny and criminal possession of stolen property, and issued an appearance ticket. She is due back in Stony Point Justice Court Thursday.
